Unfolding over seven and a half hours, The Long Walk follows local women as they journey to collect water in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains, a task that is physically exhausting, emotionally draining, and deeply entwined with the harsh realities of life in a conflict zone.

I fully immersed herself in this journey, walking alongside the women to try and understand the cumulative weight of time, the physical strain of their labour.

Filmed continuously the work captures both the monotony and the intensity of this ritual while revealing the extraordinary endurance required to survive amid civil war, landmines, and threats of personal violence.

The film was first viewed publicly on a 30-foot LED screen in Trafalgar Square Oct 31st 2006 with public addresses from the Secretary of State for International Development, the Right Honourable Hilary Benn MP, London Mayor Ken Livingstone, and WaterAid CEO Dame Barbara Frost.

It then went on to be exhibited on large screens globally, including at Grand Central Station in New York, Union Station in Washington D.C. the UN Building in Brussels, Victoria City Centre in Australia, the Eden Project in Cornwall, and Glastonbury Music Festival for five consecutive years.

The final screening in 2012 took place at the Cathedral of St John the Divine, New York, as part of An Evening of Witness, accompanied by a live orchestra and organised by the Magnum Foundation.
